I'm looking forward to the finished product. I'm always into what people do to update the Tele template, since it hasn't been overdone yet like the superstrat concept. BlacKat are probably the leaders in the modern Tele concept - this seems to be in that vein, which is super cool.

Thanks, I spent a couple days mixing up different greens and in the end I used two different shades, a dark green and lite green
